The cameras were introduced in June 2018 as part of a council initiative to reduce pollution around a nearby primary school at the start and end of the school day.

Cars are now banned from entering the bus lane on Richmond Road between 7-10am and 3-7pm on school days, and Saturdays, to ease congestion around the popular Broadway Market.

The RAC has previously urged the local council to improve signage after it was revealed nearly £900,000 in fines had been collected from enforcement cameras at the junction in just two months.

The “no left turn” is located behind the traffic lights at the junction, obscuring the view motorists have of the sign as they turn left onto Richmond Road.

Speaking in August 2018, spokesman Rod Dennis said the sheer number of fines suggests something is wrong with the junction, as the majority of drivers wouldn’t intentionally ignore street signs.

“The sign is immediately past a busy pedestrian crossing and between two sections of bus lane on Mare Street,” he said. “A driver would have just moments to read all the traffic signs and decide whether they were permitted to turn left.”
